  "account": "Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. will not be practicing on Monday due to an injury. The specific nature of the right leg injury occurred during the team's Saturday Night Lights practice at Latrobe Memorial Stadium. In a pre-practice interview, head coach Mike McCarthy mentioned that rookie wide receiver Germie Bernard will receive more playing time as Pittman recuperates. Additionally, wide receiver DK Metcalf is also absent from practice, which may be due to a veteran day. Pittman, who was acquired by the Steelers from the Indianapolis Colts in March, discussed his adjustment to the team during an interview on \"The Pat McAfee Show,\" emphasizing his experience stepping into the huddle with four-time NFL Most Valuable Player Aaron Rodgers.",
